The Crushed Monocle Podcast is a show where Jon and Coop talk about stuff. ALL the stuff! Music, movies, shows, life, or whatever. Naturally, they will mispronounce names, poke fun at themselves, and never fail to profess their love for the 1995 masterpiece, Showgirls. Doesn’t that excite you? Sure it does! This is why it’s essential that you subscribe to this podcast on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you consume fine podcasts. This is the Crushed Monocle Podcast: Episode 23 – Timeshares That Care!

Joining Jon and Coop in this episode is Mike Natoli, bassist, singer, songwriter, and designated band-dad of TIMESHARES.

Formed in the early 2000s out of the ashes of the band The Knockdown, Timeshares have scratched out a name for themselves with their cathartic blend of punk, garage rock, and alt-country. With releases on Kiss Of Death Records, SideOneDummy, and WireTap Records, Mike Natoli and the boys will punch you straight in the heart with one hand and buy you a beer with another. As a staple here at Bearded Gentlemen Music, Timeshares found themselves at the number one spot in the Top 22 Albums of 2022 list, as well as a heartfelt review of their latest record, LIMB, by Coop himself.

Taking a break from working, Timeshares band practice, and coaching hockey, Mike Natoli stopped by to hang with Jon and Coop to discuss various topics including:

  • The highs and lows of being in the busiest band in indie rock
  • How important it is to check the oil and rotate your tires
  • Alt-country being tailor-made for road trips
  • Playing drums in Lexington Kentucky is hot enough to make you puke
  • Europe likes Americana but we don’t know why
  • Getting a shout-out by John Oliver
  • Every gig is a gift.
